I can't speak for OO, but I definitely prefer Gimp's interface to Photoshop. On the other hand, I use weird window managers.

- albemuth 17y ago>>but I definitely prefer Gimp's interface to Photoshop wow, maybe it's just that I got used to PS before using GIMP, but I find GIMP's UI to be nothing short of ghastly.
- aphyr 17y agoYeah, most discussions I've read on this boil down to "it's what I learned first." Seems to be a familiarity thing. What bugged me about PS is that it's really hard to manage all the panels and subwindows. They end up covering what I'm trying to see, and moving them around efficiently took way too long. I prefer the Gimp's docks and tear-off menus, which collapse quickly and respond nicely to my window manager shortcuts. On the other hand, looking at my co-worker's CS2, it looks like photoshop has moved towards that behavior some... so I'm probably out of date. It's been several years since I used CS on a regular basis.
- krainboltgreene 17y agoCheck out some of the screen casts of CS4. It's pretty awesome.
- ido 17y agoI don't mind Gimp either. It just takes a bit of getting used to, but its interface is actually pretty well thought out.
